Meanwhile, the same cannot be said for large swaths of the movie outside of these moments. It's not hard to tell which parts were Raimi's darlings, and which were being handled with the most care and consideration. Interestingly, these sequences also feature some of the movie's cleanest and most organic looking visual effects, which are otherwise wildly uneven in quality throughout the rest of the film. There is blood, some light gore, and multiple graphic death scenes that all feel deeply subversive and interesting.
This actually may be the least kid-friendly Marvel has ever allowed one of their movies to get while still remaining safely in the PG-13 rating zone. Multiple sequences nostalgically harken back to the stylistic influences in his pre-MCU Spider-Man days while others dip deeply (sometimes even shockingly) into true horror. Multiverse of Madness excels when Raimi's voice is the loudest one in the room. Also returning are Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), fresh off her traumatic experience in the Disney+ TV show, WandaVision, Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who hasn't been around since Strange 1, Wong (Benedict Wong), the put upon Sorcerer Supreme, and Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams) Strange's ex. Multiverse of Madness sends Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) on a horror-flavored jaunt through the recently cracked open MCU multiverse alongside newcomer America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) who has the ability to hope between universes, much to the chagrin of some apparently demonic forces that would like to take her power for themselves. Thankfully, veteran superhero director Sam Raimi stepped up to the plate, and, despite some stumbling blocks, delivers a solid and unique Phase 4 movie-at least, for the most part. With that said, it's easy to see how Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness would have a lot of plates to keep spinning, serving not only as a sequel to Doctor Strange proper, but as a sequel to multiple Avengers movies and more recently, Spider-Man: No Way Home. Still, even with the gap in his resume Strange has certainly not been absent from the movies as a whole, with major parts other outings to keep him growing and changing. Doctor Strange has been a busy guy in the MCU, despite his only solo outing happening six years ago, a massive gap in the usually tightly scheduled coordination of these superhero stories.
